Pay it forward all year long
Military Consumer Month is over, but that doesn’t mean our work is done! Scams will evolve and change, and they often follow the headlines. Military Consumer’s email updates can fill you in on the latest.
If you missed this month’s posts about imposters, check the Military Consumer blog to learn more about scammers who pretend to be your distressed family member, an online love interest, a government official, a tech support worker, or a prospective employer.
A knowledgeable consumer is an empowered one. See, for example, how one family responded to a family imposter scam. Help us spread the word about scams to other servicemembers and military families, all year long. Share Military Consumer tips and videos with your colleagues, community, and social networks. Start by sharing this video about how scammers tell you to pay.
